CCFC fan here. Was parked up in Cov City Centre one Saturday afternoon late on, around 4:30 ish, when this flash car pulled in front of me, and parked up. Out got Frank Worthington. Recognised him straight away. Although by this time he had retired, he still sported those trade mark long locks although his waistline wasn't quite what it was. I wound down my window, and said hello Frank, how can I help. He told me he was looking for a hotel in Cov because he was guest speaker at a sports dinner dance that evening and he was lost. Can't remember which hotel it was now, but when he told me the name of the hotel, I thought cripes that;s miles away, and the directions will take 10 minutes to explain. The missus was out shopping, so I said to Frank I'll take you there just follow me, which he did. He was a lovely gent and most grateful too. Although he was a Foxes legend sorry to hear of his passing. RIP Frank.

You didn't have to be a Leicester fan to enjoy the magnificence of Frank Worthington, he was an entertainer for all fans of the game, bless him

An true entertainer often talked about along side the likes of George Best, Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles to mention just a few.. I watched him week In and week out at Filbert Street during the 70's where he was a fans favourite.. Thank you for some lovely memories. Rest In peace now Frank

I was at the game in 1975 at Spurs when we lost 0-3 to Leicester. Worthington scored and he reminded me of Stan Bowles, incredibly gifted and charismatic with it. Admired by everyone. A sad loss. RIP.

I was at a sportsman's dinner at our local football club. Frank was after dinner speaker and was absolutely hilarious. The whole audience was in tears with his stories about fellow pro's, parties, drinking and much more. Lovely guy.

An absolute legend and I was lucky enough to see him play rip Frank ⚽⚽🦊🦊

Frank Worthington didn't get the cred he deserved cause that is how good I was. The guy was a genius and was thrilled when he played for Birmingham. R.I.P Frank

Frank Worthington was one of the greatest talents ever to play football ; with a brilliant sense of humour; R.I.P. Frank.

Frank was a truly gifted, skillful player. It was an absolute pleasure to watch him play. Sadly, in today's game, there is no one that has his charisma or flair. He was a GIANT and a LEGEND. RIP Frank.

He lit up the pitch with his charm and charisma. He entertained in the best possible way.

What can be said about Frank Worthington, I couldn't take my eyes off the ball at his feet, absolute genius, RIP Frankie Wortho xx

One of those rare players loved by all fans. I was paid a great compliment when I was playing to be called Frank Worthington due to my style of play. His goal when he was playing for Bolton later in his career was a thing of beauty. RIP legend.

Very underrated player. Even today he would sleep walk into any of the top PL Teams. A maverick genius like George Best, Tony Currie, Alan Hudson, Stan Bowles, Peter Osgood & Rodney Marsh. A golden era for football. RIP Frank.

A legend of not only Leicester but English football. Glad we had him, sad hes left us. Rest In Peace Frank Worthington

Some superheroes don't wear capes. RIP Frankie Wortho.

One of the entertainers of his generation, I used to go up to Bolton if my team were not playing just to watch Frank. Far better player than some others bummed up by the media because they played for bigger teams and always a pleasure to watch.

What awful news .love from your Leicester family.♥️♥️

I first saw him on TV playing for Huddersfield and realised he was a fine footballer. I couldn’t believe it when he came to Leicester. I saw Frank a few times. R.I.P. Wortho you legend.

What a legendary player. I had the pleasure to watch a true football player play at Filbert Street from the old kop in his Leicester City days. A Legend he is, so underrated by so few, adored by the Blue Foxes many. The foxes will be crying in honour tonight. RIP Frank

A class act, there’s nobody in the Premier League like him now.

Another 1 of footballs characters sadly slips away.. When football was allowed to be football. Worthington,best,hunter,charton,stiles You played for pitence,but played with your hearts. We will never forget you lads Thanks for the memories. Hope your up there having a pint.. ⚽️⚽️🍺🍺

RIP Frank Worthington. An entertainer on the pitch and a gent off the pitch. Had the pleasure of meeting him twice at two testimonial dinners wen I worked at walsall fc in the 90s. Condolences to family and friends.

Superb player , on the Burnden Paddock when he scored " that " goal for BWFC against Ipswich, and also when ge got the winner at Ewood to clinch promotion in 78. Top player, top man, highly thought of by all his clubs.

Never a Foxes supporter but always loved Frank's attitude and his obvious pleasure at scoring. His class of player is much missed. RIP Frank

Fantastic tribute to a fantastic player. Total respect from a Liverpool fan.

I loved watching Frank play, he was artistic on the ball. His swagger, ability & confidence made him exceptional.

His skill set Fratton Park a light back in 72. RIP Frank

R.I.P. fine player & flamboyant character from a golden age

A classy, elegant and special player.

Using an adage from his idol.Frank has left the building.Thanks for the memories and god bless.

Fantastic player and guy. Used watch him on Star Soccer in the Leicester team when football was football and commentators was commentators Hugh John's. Skillfully alert player with a great touch of the ball and finisher. Loved his music 🎶 🎸 to. Losing so many gifted talented players of bygone days they will never be forgotten. 👍 R. I. P Worthy. God bless. From nels. Wba fc fan.... ⚽

Just one of the great entertainers, skill, passion and brilliance, god rest Frank Worthington a football Maverick......

An amazingly gifted player that we had the pleasure of watching. He should have had lots more England caps but revie didn't like flair players. R.I.P Frankie wortho...

RIP Frank. I used to watch him at Huddersfield Town. Frank was real class.

truly amazing player didn't matter who your team was you loved watching Frank play a true legend thanks for the memories r.i.p frank

What a player and character. The 70s had some great characters in the game and love the old muddy pitches RIP Frank and thanks for all the great memories watching you play #KRO

Leicester came to Luton in the FA cup in 1974. Absolutely wiped the floor with us. Weller, Birchenall, Worthington et al. Absolute class. Sad to see another legend gone. Regards, Nevada based Hatter.

Legend on & off the pitch. RIP & thanks from an Evertonian

Was lucky enough to see him play with Birmingham. He had pure genius class, he beat Forest one night with 2 goals. The second he was on the the left and bent it into the far right corner past Peter Shilton no less. RIP Frank you gave so many so much. KRO

I used to watch "Frankie Wortho" when I was a kid at Filbert Street in the 70s. Great player & a great character of the game. It was worth the entrance fee to stand in the Spion Kop & watch him do his stuff. Every time he got the ball, a wave of excitement gripped the fans. He loved the high life too, Leicester's very own George Best. RIP Frank. A true Leicester legend.

A total legend on and off the pitch 😪💙🦊

All these players you grew up watching in the 70s are popping off. I’m in despair when i look at today’s lot.

He is a mustache icon forever.

I'm a huddersfield town fan 50 years he was a true gent and a funny man my hero in the ups rip frank.

World level striker who never quite got the recognition for England. Met him whilst attending a Bolton Wanderers supporters meeting, and he took the time out to meet the fans. He's football royalty in my opinion, and would have excelled in any era.

I was lucky enough to have seen most of the games he played for leicester true star football could do with more characters like him rest in peace

Really sad loss,,, loved watching him, and one goal they did not show ( cannot remember who they wre playing but was on TV ) was when , with back towards the goal with a defender either side of him flicked the ball over his head spun round and volleyed it into the net.....fantastic...RIP Frank

One of my Hero's growing up Frank! Huge Elvis Presley fan like myself, R.I.P.

God Bless you Frank, thanks for the memories! RIP

Beautiful man, beautiful player

RIP a great great player. Loved in Norway. Love and thank you Frank

Rest in peace Frank from Bolton

My Dad's inspiration in football. Top, top bloke.

Top bloke great football legend ul be missed by all at lcfc .so sad to hear ur gone .rip frank .from huge lcfc fan. And yes you and vichai will meet in heaven .

Lovely player, lovely man. R.I.P

As a kid I saw him at Upton Park .He look liked he'd strolled out the boozer for a game of football..and took the piss Brilliant player . Rip

Really saddened to hear of Frank Worthington's death today, some great memories of him playing and the game is all the poorer at his passing. RIP Frank.

Giant of a man, one of the lads, Amazing Footballer RIP

Nice tribute. Sad news for many supporters of the teams he played for.

I once got a slapping from Frank at my cousins wedding. My cousin had just married a Huddersfield Town player called Jimmy McGill .The wedding reception had been decorated in blue and white I walked in and said to Frank you must have known I was coming he asked why and I told him that I was a Leicester City fan and thanks for decorating in Leicesters colours well I got chased received a friendly slap lol. I had been 15 at the time. Gosh over 50 years ago

I remember going down the kop at Filbert Street to see Frankie, a true legend and a ladies man.

Newcastle fan here......Great player who I loved watching as a kid! Very skillful and scored some wonderful goals....RIP Frank!!

RIP FRANK we will remember you forever

Frank knew where the goal was.Great player.

Well done Frank lets have another one, Leicester were not a star studded team but their love of football shone through in their togetherness, skill and making football free flowing easy on the eye, thoughts with Frank's family, friends and Leicester. Leeds fan.

A class act in the true sense of the phrase. We only had him at Leeds for a short spell, 15 goals in 35 appearances. One of those characters who lit up the crowd.

One Frankie Wortho, there's only one Frankie Wortho. One Frankie Wortho...there's only one Frankie Wortho. Wortho and weller back together again . Loved them both, was lucky enough to have seen them play. You will always be a Filbert street legend Frank R.I.P mate 😪

Charlton fan here! Always loved watching the great Frank play! he was so skilled and gifted. Pity England had to many good forwards back in his day. I think he deserved more caps for England! He will always be remembered in a golden age of football!

RIP Frank. legend is not a strong enough word for wortho

Big Frank! I salute you and your memory sir! Wolves fan, aged 59, from the cradle to the grave. I watched you play as a kid. As an England striker. I met you in Dorchester. Now retired in Mexico, I cherish your skill, talent and humanity. How the game needs more Frank Worthington's today. May Valhalla treat you like the king you are!

😞 so sad. Rest in peace

Class tribute from LCFC for a class player 💙🦊

Didn’t get the recognition he deserved he was sublime love him thanks for your time at Sunderland frank

One of my favourite players when I was a wee boy . Different class .RIP Frank .

RIP FRANK YOU CAN SING ALONG WITH ELVIS YOUR IDOL IN HEAVEN

Frank and Vichai will meet again in heaven 💙🙏

Very nice tribute to a wonderful player. Did everything with balance and great style.

Although I'm a United, I'm deeply saddened to hear about FW, passing, he was one of those special, larger than life talented players. The thing I remember most about him was a reporter asked him who was his most dangerous opponent, with out missing a beat Frank , replied " my ex wife " RIP, Frank , you are a legend

God bless ya Frank

An absolute legend and certainly one of my favourites back in the day. A real joy to behold - rest in peace Frank. ❤

I live in Sweden nowadays and was showing some workmates what " doing a Worthington " meant the day after he died. Everybody tried emulating THAT goal against Ipswich as a kid. The guys burst out laughing when I showed them. Even after all these years it's still the cheekiest goal ever.

Played for my team Leeds a true entertainer a joy to watch, RIP

RIP FRANK few years have gone by now since I had the privilege to get your wife and yourself the good seats at the Smokie concert Bradford you never forgot when you used to come to elland road in the press lounge we become friends at the time

RIP Frank. Legends never die.

The best goal i have seen is the dink over his head and the volley on the turn top finish and one that might not be done again pure class rip Frank.

Met him at York races in 1985. Was a true gent & gr8 sense of humour. Tipped me a 9/2 winner !!

Frank spent a short time at Birmingham City FC in his twilight years couldnt run much by then but 5 minutes of sheer brilliance was worth every penny - Yes he was a World Class Entertainer Bless You Frank 💖

Great player! Even though I only saw glimpses of Wortho, as a little kid. My older brother, and most of the boys off the Northfields, idolised him. He had so much natural talent, and played with freedom. Add the looks and charisma of a western gunslinger, and you've got big Frank.

RIP Frank you were just Brilliant Man and such a great Elvis Presley Fan. Never Forgotten.

I was able to see this Magician weave his Spells on the field thanks for the memories RIP legend

A players player and a fans player. It was worth the admission price just to see Frank play. The fact were talking about him and so many of us have our own memories on and off the pitch shows what a player he was. A star on earth and now a star in the sky. God bless you Frank. RIP.

Great. Player. And. A legend

Such a shame there seems so little or f Frank on film. He was brilliant at Brighton every game he played. World class player but where's what we watched week after week. Crazy there's no film showing this.

Rip absolute legend

Frank is from my home town my dad went to school with him so sad to here this news what a player and legend frank along with the likes of george best and the other 70s entertainers we will never see again he would of loved an elvis song as the music to this vid RIP frank thanks for entertaining us
